The journey

Five steps, with AI doing the paperwork and engineers holding the gates.

    Talk to the copilot

    It asks only what the engine needs, at most three questions at a time.

    Supplier-ready plan

    Sizing, layout, container spec and prices from vetted vendors, ready for quotes.

Have ready: 12 months of bills (PDF or photo), your CUPS or supply number, a photo of the transformer plate and the space available outdoors.

Your final report

A decision your board can sign, not a brochure.

  • Clear recommendation: install, install with conditions, or wait
  • Return on investment and money generated after 10 years
  • Payback with a cautious and an optimistic case
  • Battery size, layout and connection option
  • Buy, lease or energy-as-a-service comparison
  • Permit checklist and supplier-ready specification
Example · Recommended: install a battery

A 522 kWh / 250 kW battery pays for itself in about 4.8 years and leaves the site about €310,000 better off after 10 years, after paying for it.

Illustrative example, not a real client.

Built for energy-hungry sites

Manufacturing

Shift peaks, lower contracted power, protect lines from micro-outages.

Cold storage

Steady night loads and expensive peaks: ideal for time-of-use arbitrage.

Agri-food & farms

Store midday solar for irrigation, packing and evening processing.

Logistics hubs

Charge fleets without a new grid connection or excess-power penalties.

Where the money is

Contracted-power terms, excess-power penalties and price spreads between cheap and expensive hours. Best cases: 1.5–2 cycles a day and 150 kW+ of peak shaving.

Buy, lease or as a service

Compare paying upfront, an 8-year lease with no money down, or energy-as-a-service, all on the same numbers.

AC by default

Container batteries on your internal AC network: simplest to permit and to connect alongside existing solar.

Questions

Does it cost anything?

No. Exploring, simulating and the first plan are free and carry no commitment.

How accurate are the numbers?

Bills give a class B estimate; a quarter-hour curve gives class A. Every figure shows its class, with a cautious and an optimistic case.

Where do battery prices come from?

From the HELIOS vendor and price master (28 September 2026) covering 16 suppliers, CATL as primary. Written quotations replace estimates as they arrive.

Do I need a new grid permit?

Usually not: batteries on your internal AC network with anti-export control avoid a new connection. The plan tells you exactly which permits apply.

What if I already have solar?

Better. The battery stores surplus solar and the model counts it; AC coupling works alongside your existing inverters.

Who sees my data?

Only you and HELIOS engineers. Files stay in private storage and are never shared with suppliers without your approval.

Your bills stay in private storage. Estimates, not guarantees, until measured data and an engineer review confirm them.
